Silver Buddy Bears for the Ice Hockey Heroes of Pyeongchang

Despite the frosty temperatures in Berlin, ice hockey fans in the Mercedes-Benz Arena extended a warm welcome to the players of the Eisbären Berlin and the team of EHC Red Bull München on the evening of 28th Febuary 2018. They held up banner saying “Silver on the Chest – Gold in our Hearts” to greet the Olympic Heroes of Pyeongchang.

The 13 medal winners of both teams received silver Buddy Bears, matching their medals for the second place in South Korea. Artist Klio Karadim created the little trophies after the heart-stopping final three days earlier – with the name of each player on the back and the medal on the chest. The Buddy Bears were awarded in the arena just before yesterday’s game.
